Jing Li asked impatiently: "Are you okay? If not, I'm going to close the door."
"Yes, yes!" Chen Yan'an suddenly came to his senses and said, "I have something important to discuss with Qin Zhao. When will he be back?"
"I don't know either. Why don't you try again later..."
Jing Li was about to send the man away, but suddenly remembered something and paused. He tilted his head and smiled at Chen Yan'an, then opened the door wide and said, "Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Chen Yanan: “!”
"I, I, I... This is not appropriate. Qin Zhao is not here. I, I, I..." Chen Yan'an was incoherent and was pulled into the house by Jing Li.
"Sit down." Jing Li pushed Chen Yan'an to sit down at the table, and politely poured him a glass of water before sitting down in front of him.
The little fat boy was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands. Jing Li propped up his chin and smiled gently: "Drink some water."
"Oh, drink water, drink water..." Chen Yan'an took a sip of water, but choked because he drank too fast. He coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"Pfft." Jing Li burst out laughing.
Was this little fat boy so cute before?
Chen Yanan's face flushed, and he said, "Why don't I go back first..."
"Don't be impatient." Jing Li stopped him, glanced in the direction of the door, and then lowered his voice and said, "I asked you to come in because I need your help with something."
Chen Yanan was stunned and turned around to look him up and down.
Jing Li said: "I just want to ask you, do you have..."
"No!" Chen Yan'an jumped up and said righteously, "If you marry Brother Qin, you will be my brother Qin's person, and my sister-in-law. I may be a bit muddle-headed and have no ambitions, but I am a scholar after all. I will never take away someone's favorites, and I will not have an ambiguous relationship with my sister-in-law. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Jing Li: “…”
Jing Li: “???”
What is the little fat boy talking about?
Jing Li was angry and annoyed: "Who do you think I am? I am..."
"That's right. You dressed like this, dragged me into the house, and closed the door. Don't I know what you want to do?" Chen Yan'an said, "My elder brother Qin may have had some unclear pasts, but that's all in the past. Since you've married me, you should be a good husband and stop dwelling on these nonsense all the time."
"I really didn't..." Jing Li paused and asked, "What do you mean Qin Zhao's past is unclear? What happened to him?"
Chen Yanan was stunned and turned his head away: "Forget it if you don't know. I won't tell you."
Jing Li frowned.
Is it related to Qin Zhao’s illness?
Or is it related to his background?
Qin Zhao was rescued by the Chen family. The Chen family must know many things that others don't know.
Jing Li asked, "Do you know what his illness is?"
Chen Yanan replied, "How could I not know? I know it all! The first year he came to the village, he was so sick he couldn't even get up. I was the one who got him medicine!"
"What's wrong with him?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Jing Li wanted to ask more, but Chen Yan'an refused to reveal a single word, so he had to give up for the time being.
He sighed and sat down at the table: "Let's not talk about this for now. I have something I want to ask you, so don't be nervous."
Chen Yanan didn't dare to sit down. He stood by the door and looked at him warily: "Go ahead."
"I want to ask, how many unmarried men are there in the village?"
Chen Yanan was shocked: "It's not enough for you to attack me, and you're thinking of looking for someone else?!"
Jing Li: “…”
The two looked at each other, and Chen Yanan looked away: "Okay, tell me why you ask these questions first, and then I will consider whether to believe you."
"I'm asking on behalf of someone else." Jing Li explained, pulling out the excuse he had prepared long ago. "To be honest, I have a brother who wants to find a partner in Linxi Village, and I'm looking for one for him."
Chen Yanan asked, "Is your brother also Shuang'er?"
"No." Jing Li said truthfully, "But he likes men."
